My Creative Apathy

The place where Tim Bower can be as creative or apathetic as he wants to be


Merry Vampire and Werewolf Nerd Christmas everyone!



Finally!!! A phone I can use to work on my Excel spreadsheets!  The huge screen on the phone will be perfect for the detail needed to work in Excel.  Thank you!

If you wouldn't mind...

Please join us in praying for my cousin’s daughter Isabelle.  She was diagnosed with abdominal cancer this past weekend.  Isabelle is 9 days younger than Isaac.

Pray for peace and calm for her parents Kyle and Tina as well.

Thanks.



Damn! This sucks.


I hate Charley Steiner

Besides the obvious reasons, I hate Steiner for jinxing the Dodgers yesterday during the top of the 9th.

Here is the situation.  The Dodgers need one win to clinch the NL West title.  They are tied 2-2 with the Pirates going into the 9th.  The Dodgers score the go ahead run, and then one more to make it 4-2.  At this point Steiner says something idiotic like “Get the bubbly ready!” signifying that the Dodgers will be celebrating at any moment.  Moments later, the Dodgers score a 5th run and Steiner says “Champagne anyone?”

After both comments I say (outloud), “The game isn’t over Steiner, you idiot!”  Sure enough the Pirates scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th off the suddenly very hittable Jonathon Broxton to win 6-5.

Fortunately the Dodgers had another chance to clinch the NL West today against the hapless Pirates.  Unfortunately they got blown out of the water, 11-1.

Thanks Chuck.

Profile on the new Bazan record.  I have always been fascinated by Bazan and I think this record represents an interesting case study of faith in crisis.  Definitely check it out if you can.



USC stole that game.  If I was an OSU fan I would shoot myself. OSU continues to prove they don’t belong anywhere near the upper echelon.

Was searching the web for reviews of David Bazan’s new album (haven’t got it yet but I will be doing so soon) and came across this web site.  What a cool concept!
